I John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, make remarks about the fact that we belong to God. He has claimed us as His sons and daughters. By faith we receive the inheritance of eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. We must allow our faith to grow by way of God’s grace and mercy in our lives. Then our light of Christian love will shine, and our faith will bear fruit as we serve others with the love of God.
2. As the song plays the second time, read the scripture found in the Book of I John 3:1-3 and Psalm 100. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 2 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.

I am Thine O Lord

I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice, 
and it told thy love to me; 
but I long to rise in the arms of faith 
and be closer drawn to thee.
 
Refrain: 
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, 
to the cross where thou hast died. 
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, 
to thy precious, bleeding side. 

Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord, 
by the power of grace divine; 
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, 
and my will be lost in thine. (Refrain)
